Intrinsic motivation is another important emotional intelligence skill. People who are emotionally intelligent are motivated by things beyond external rewards like fame, money, recognition, and acclaim.

To improve motivation:

  • Introduce challenges to keep things interesting.
  • Set goals to help build intrinsic motivation.
  • Work with a friend or co-worker to find accountability.
